...Thor was banished during World War One?

When a rogue group Jotuns invaded Asgard and the naive young (Not even ten centuries old yet!) Thor enacted his retribution upon them. He inadvertently toppled a balance of power, treaties and alliances that had been long fought for in centuries gone by. Calling his father a fool, and a coward. Odin saw his second-born son as unfit for his position and power, stripping him off his Godhood, his immortality and his power. Awaking as Donald Blake in 1904 Germany. He had memories of a life well lived, of families and loved ones long gone. A small group of friends.

Working in the fields was tiring but rewarding work, though within a decade war erupted in Europe. Donald Blake was called up to the front, where he learned war was hell. Artillery, Machineguns, tanks, aircraft. He was there for the Christmas truce, and subsequently moved from the front like the rest of the troops. He saw the best and worst that humanity had to offer.

When Donald sacrificed himself to save his best friend Falk Hentschel he was gravely wounded, and sent away. Something awoke within him. The war ended. New lines were drawn on the map. Travel was hard going, and dangerous. Money was worthless, people were starving and his wounded leg still plagued him. He could no longer walk without a cane, and had to routinely stop and rest. By the time he reached the cave he was a shell of a man, though the moment his hand touched Mjolnir he was restored and Thor was reborn.

Thor returned to Asgard, welcomed with open arms by his father Odin, his brothers Tyr and Baldur and his best friend and sometimes adversary Loki. Odin saw the change in Thor, and as such awarded him more responsibilities. This drove a wedge between him and Tyr.

As the years went by, Tyr started to disappear more and more. As World War 2 erupted on Earth, Thor suspected his elder brother. The God of War, had a hand to play in it. When Nazi scientists under attack by the JSA accidentally opened a portal resulting in parademons spitting out on Earth, Thor returned to Midgard and helped the JSA fight off the invasion.

Tracking a series of strange occurrences Thor came face to face with his older brother, the two fought, and Tyr was banished from the Realm Eternal by Odin for meddling with the affairs of Mortals. All was well in the nine realms, eventually.

Thor continued to serve the Nine Realms, now as their protector and the Crown Prince of Asgard. He has been to Earth many times in the years since the second world war, though never for a prolonged period. He comes and goes as needed.

I was writing out new and old ideas, building them as needed. Then suddenly I came up with an idea for a main plot. So.

Here I am.

The main plot I am going to do will focus around Thor accepting more responsibility, and the issues with dealing with an invasion spreading across the nine realms. It's Asgard versus Apocalypse.

These words are often used to describe the woman who rose from the poverty-stricken projects within Chicago to being one of the most powerful figures in the United States.

But what if that still wasn't enough, and the odds were stacked against her? In this world, Amanda Waller uncovered files of a long-forgotten agency and asked to revive it under her directive. But instead of approval, an adversary within the government used it as an opportunity to clip her wings via "voluntary" demotion. Her demotion involved transfer over to SHIELD, essentially confined to a desk job til death. But this wasn't going to be a bittersweet ending for her. Not with that determination burning ever so strong. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ With season one being focused on Secret Invasion, it's the perfect time to introduce my interpretation of Amanda Waller. Her story will be a political drama and thriller as she tries to adjust to her new environment. Of course, it means a change of occupation to being a SHIELD agent instead of being a government official. While the main focus would be on the overall plotline, I am more than open to collaborations with others should the opportunity arise. Overall, Amanda Waller is still a force to reckon with, and one shouldn't underestimate her at all.

Wraith's Little Workshop of Horrors

_{| EARTH-668}

^{__THE VEGA SYSTEM - THE EREBUS, THE CITADEL FLAGSHIP}

The Tamaranean woman walked the bottom-lit hallway flanked by a pair of armed Gordanian guards. Long black hair flowed from the back of her alien orange skin, falling against her back and spilling over the purple fabric of her intricate bodice's train. Waiting for her on the massive vessel's bridge was Lord Antar Ftt B'Jan. He was a Kree deserter, though despite being a tailcoat, it hadn't stopped Ftt B'Jan from having a bloated sense of self-importance due to his position as the sole autarch of the desolate world of Hny'xx. The Tamaranean Queen was familiar with the Kree male, as like herself, Antar had forcibly been made to sign an alliance with the Citadel when they sieged the Vega System.

"<Ah,>"¹ Antar acknowledged the Tamaranean Queen coldly as she entered the room. "<Queen Kormand'r, your sister sends her regards.>"

"<I'm surprised her heart still beats in her chest. I thought your pits were supposed to be only for the strong.>"

"<Your disdain for your sister blinds you if you think her weak.>" Taunted Antar, "<You gifted me my champion, she's the strongest contender in the pit. But!>" He paused, rubbing his hands together wickedly, "<I have someone new I'm eagerly anticipating will give her a challenge.>"

"<They had better provide more than a challenge,>" Kormand'r snarled, "<They had better kill her or I'll personally be visiting your backwater little world to finish the job personally!>"

"<Might we remind you, your majesty,>" A new voice hissed, "<You are not in charge here.>" The Psion added, their reptilian tongue darting in and out from between their scaly lips as they approached the bickering pair. Kormand'r froze for the slightest second, her hair standing on end upon seeing not only a Psion, but this particular Psion again. Her right hand balled into a white-knuckled fist, fingernails threatening to draw blood from her palm as she increasingly squeezed.

"<My Lady sends her regards and flagship in her stead, but she will not join us today. Our forces on the Shi'ar front are more demanding of her focus at this time.>"

"<Plytus.>" Kormand'r started, steeling her tone to hide any hesitation in her voice, "<Lady Styx does herself a disservice sending a Kraalian crotch-worm in her stead. Our history is hardly cordial, I should cut you down where you stand.>"

The Gordanians flanking the Tamaranean Queen tightened the grip on their weapons, but to Kormand'r's surprise, they were not pointed at Plytus, but rather at her. The crocodilian-like guards had an almost sly smile to their toothy snouts. Their long tails raised from their relaxed position on the floor, balancing them to spring into action. Perhaps it should not have surprised Kormand'r where their loyalty would truly lie as she looked from one reptilian species to the other. The Gordanians after all, were made in their creator's image.

"<And you, my dear Queen,>" Plytus replied, raising a clawed limb signalling the Gordanian guards to relax, "<Need to remember to whom your position is owed.>" Plytus purred walking past the Tamaranean without fear of harm.

"<After all I fixed you.>" He stated before taking a seat in the commanding officer's chair on the Erebus' bridge. "<You're welcome to cut me down, but that would make you a traitor to the Citadel. Your death would not be so quick, and Tamaran would be forfeit. Tell me, was the physical price you paid so high that you'd let your world die for revenge?>"

Kormand'r locked eyes with Plytus, defiantly staring the reptile down before the tense silence was broken by Antar.

"<As I have no interest in this stalemate, I would ask why, if the Lady could not be present we were summoned to her flagship, Herald.>"

Plytus gave Kormand'r one last smug look before turning his eyes towards Antar.

"<Centuri VI was lost to the Reach.>" The statement hung in the room, even the Tamaranean seemed stunned enough to stifle her feud with the Psion, at least temporarily.

"<The Hive has begun a hostile expansion and we can't be sure that the Vega System is not in their path. The Citadel is already at war with the Shi'ar and we have barely settled our ceasefire with the Kree Empire. Tensions are high and a single ship in the neutral zone could make the entire Rann-Thanagar Treaty fall apart. Lady Styx expects the utmost competency from you both. Get your houses in order before the Reach is on our doorstep.>"

Plytus looked down at both the leaders before him.

"<Did you think your Lady did not know about the uprisings on Tamaran? Sparing the resistance simply because your brother is among them, now who is weak your majesty?>" The Herald scolded before turning to Antar. "<And you, using prisoners for entertainment instead of harvesting the resources that Hny'xx holds beneath her surface. You were a traitor to your people, the Citadel did not put you on Hny'xx to indulge in a hedonistic fantasy. You are there to work, you are there to make sure that planet is stripped to its core for the glory of the Citadel! Stop wasting their strength in the pit when it should be used for the quarry!>" Plytus roared, salvia flying from his maw.

"<Guards!>" The Psion snapped, motioning towards both the Queen and the Lord. "<Get them out of my sight.>"

As she was escorted from the bridge, Kormand'r managed to steal one last look at Plytus. She could still smell the sterile lab environment as she looked at his smug visage, still feel his cold-blooded fingers ignoring her cries and still hear the hissing laughter at her agony.

The reptile would die by her hand.

Thud.

The leathery fist made contact with Carter's face. The meaty slap echoed across the open arena, eliciting a cheer from the crowd and a muted grunt from the Terran combatant. Rearing back a fist, the four-armed Branx held the Thanagarian warrior tightly between his lower arms while continuing to swing wildly with his other two arms.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

The wall suddenly gave way, revealing the hidden chamber behind the ancient wall. Entering the new opening, Dr. Carter Hall straightened his hat before igniting his flashlight. The beam refracted off the metallic hull of the vessel within.

It was exactly as he recalled it through his ancestor's memory. It was perfectly preserved despite the passing of several millennia, the damage sustained from the crash was barely visible as the Nth Metal slowly healed itself using the vessel's dwindling power reserves. The Brontadon had once been cutting-edge technology and by Earth standards, it still held up. Its Nth Metal construction made it capable of exiting the atmosphere with next to no difficulty, easily defying gravity all while giving the ship an almost organic construction.

Removing it from Egypt was no small feat, but after managing to circumvent several layers of red tape, Carter had the Brontadon back state side where Pat Dugan whistled admirably at the sleek construction.

"Don't worry, Carter. I can definitely get this bird back in the air."

He was true to his word too as Carter found himself making his first jump to lightspeed. The ship handled beautifully until it suddenly didn't. Pulled from lightspeed, the console was flashing various shades of amber, red and orange. Weapons' fire rained along the hull and Carter found himself in a dogfight without a gunner. The Wingships were designed to be flown by a team of two, a gunner and a pilot.

Out maunevered and flanked, the Brontadon soon was entangled between four tractor beams and Carter found himself looking up into the mask of the pirate captain. His ship stolen, stripped for its precious resource, Carter was given as tribute to a local despot. The despot recognized him as a Thangarian, a fighter.

Leading to Carter joining the pits.

Thud.

"Enough of this." Carter roared as the final punch split his lip. Warm blood dribbled into the thick layer of stubble that had begun to cover his chin. Tucking his knees to his chest, Carter drove his heels straight forward into the Branx's abdomen, aiming for where the diaphragm was located on a human. Whether he struck the equivalent alien organ or not, it was enough to loosen the larger sentient's grip. Using the advantage, Carter took ahold of the alien's wrists, pulling his knees up again but this time twisting his torso upwards. Delivering another set of sharp kicks, Carter struck the underside of the Branx's jaw, driving its tusks upwards into its own cheekbones.

Its cry of pain echoed across the arena as the spectators jeered at Carter's sudden reversal. Free from the alien's grip, the Thanagarian warrior retrieved his sword, sliding between the towering alien's legs and slashing across the back of its calves. Following up with a swift kick to the back of its knee, the Branx howled with agony before dropping to the ground.

A pommel strike to the back of the head was enough to completely daze the creature before Carter slid the blade of his weapon under its chin.

"At least make it a challenge for me!" He mocked, looking defiantly towards the ruler of Hope's End, Lord Antar Ftt B'Jan.

"Do you yield?" Carter roared in the Branx's earhole as the crowd jeered again.

"<No.>"

"So be it." Carter muttered as the warm silver liquid spilled over his blade and onto the rusty sand below. The displeasure of the crowd echoed in Carter's ears as he returned to the undercroft beneath the arena's floor.

The latest reincarnation of the former Thanagarian Crown Wingmen, Katar Hol, Dr. Carter Hall has lived hundreds of lives spread across the known galaxies, spanning nearly a millennia. As such his martial prowess and knowledge are nearly unrivalled were it not for the fragility of his mind and the psychological toll that comes with the burden of thousands of years of memories. On an archeological dig, Carter recovered the buried Wingman ship that his original incarnation crash-landed on Earth thousands of years prior. Upon restoring power to the vessel, it began to receive a distress signal from the reigning Thangarian Queen, none other than his beloved Chay'ara. Requesting that all active Wingmen return home to Thangar, Carter took it to mean that Chay'ara was in danger. With some help, from his friends, Carter ventured into the stars only to find himself once again shot down and captured on the planet Hny'xx, otherwise known as... Hope's End. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ "By X'Hal, you will not break me." Formerly of the planet Tamaran in the Vega System, Princess Koriand'r has not had an easy life. Due to disease in her older sister, Kormand'r, Koriand'r was next in line to succeed her father's throne. This created a bitter rivalry between the two sisters as Kormand'r harboured a bitter jealousy of her sister and a hatred towards the rules and traditions that robbed her of her perceived birthright. After Koriand'r was married off to a neighbouring prince to secure a peace treaty, Kormand'r betrayed her world to the Citadel who conquered Tamaran with ease. The Citadel however betrayed Kormand'r and instead gave the pair of sisters to the Psions as a gift to secure their own continued relations. Exploited and experimented on, the Psions awakened latent powers within both sisters leading to their escape, however where Koriand'r repaid Kormand'r's treachery with kindness and fried her sister, Kormand'r instead stabbed her in the back, subduing her sister and pinning her own schemes on Koriand'r. With Tamaran now under the rule of Kormand'r, Koriand'r was sent into exile and sold to Lord Antar Ftt B'Jan. When Koriand'r proved too fierce to be another of Lord Antar's concubines, she was sent to the gladiatorial pits to die. Yet again refusing to lay down, Koriand'r instead became its reigning champion. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ "You just gotta suck the joy outta everything." "I am Groot." Originally an ordinary raccoon, Rocket began his sentient life as Experiment 89P13 at the hands of the sadistic beings known as the Psions, the same race that experimented on Koriand'r and her sister. <Bridging Paragraph(s)> Eventually leaving Halfworld behind, Rocket was recruited into the Rangers, an intergalactic bounty hunters guild. It was on a Ranger mission that Rocket first encountered a Colossus Flora X, the lifeform he'd later come to know as Groot. Rocket educated Groot in the ways of the galaxy, or at least from his jaded perspective. Eventually, the pair would be hired to go to Hope's End, but they were ultimately sold out by a pair of competitors who arranged for their capture. Impressed by Groot, Lord Antar placed the Colossus Flora X in his gladiatorial pits, while keeping an amused eye on Rocket whom he placed in his menagerie. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ "Piss off, ghost!"

Arriving at Know here, Cosmo found themselves a place amongst the people there, their newfound abilities making them an asset and ultimately landing Cosmo a position as head of security. Unfortunately, some still saw Cosmo as just an oddity to be collected, and he was discovered by the Collector before ultimately being stolen by the Ravagers. Once the pirates had grown born of their newest mascot, the spacedog was dumped on Hope's End where he ultimately ended up being on display again in Lord Antar's menagerie. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ "Boy, stop thinkin' with yer little head!"

A millennia ago, the Brontado would have been considered cutting-edge and nigh-untouchable, but things have changed since the golden age of Thanagar and the patrol craft is laughably outgunned in the modern arena. Upon entering the Vega System, Carter and the Brontadon were immediately identified by Ravagers who managed to ensnare the ship and commandeered it for its valuable Nth Metal. Carter was discarded and traded to a local baron in exchange for the Ravagers' continued operation in the Vega System.

W H A T I F...? W H A T I F...? ________________________________________________________________________________________ ...CARTER HALL FOUNDED THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY? Katar and Shayera Hol were a pair of alien law enforcement known on their homeworld of Thangar as 'Wingmen'. Thangar was the Capital of the Thanagarian Empire, the successor to the Polaran Empire which had previously ruled the Polaris System. In the spirit of their predecessors, the Thanagarians had become an expansionist race that plundered other worlds and stripped them of their resources and treasures to fund their ever-expanding fleet. Numerous members of their conquered worlds were taken as slaves and used to further the goals of the Thanagarians. As Wingmen, Katar and Shayera were responsible for ensuring the general populace's obedience to the Empire and among their duties was prisoner transportation. It was this duty they were carrying out when the pair's patrol craft was pulled through a wormhole before crashlanding on Earth nearly five thousand years ago. Surviving the crash, Katar and Shayera found themselves on an unfamiliar world in a foreign system. Seeking out a settlement, the pair found their way to Memphis. The Egyptians were astonished by the pair of Thanagarians and immediately became enamoured with their visitors due to the resemblance of their armour to the god, Horus. Welcomed with open arms, the pair were worshipped as gods by the people who believed that Horus had blessed them with his children. However, one of the high priests, Hath-Set, grew envious of the attention and worship the pair received. Craving it all for himself, Hath-Set began to covet Shayera as well, stalking the woman until he began to obsess over her. However, when the high priest finally confessed his feelings to Shayera, she spurned his affections choosing to remain loyal to Katar. In vengeance, Hath-Set planned to murder the two aliens exposing them as flesh and blood instead of the gods the people believed them to be. Poisoning their drinks to weaken the pair of Thanagarians, Hath-Set had their unconscious bodies moved to his sacred chamber where he planned to carry out their murder as a sacrifice to his god. Using a knife made from the heart of a meteor, the blade cursed Katar and Shayera to forever be reincarnated, only to fall in love all over again. Then, at the point when their love for each other was greatest, the hourglass would turn, and they would both die before their time. Since that first death, Katar and Shayera have lived hundreds of lives, each different from the last and plagued with the memories of those who came before. Each life followed the same template, the pair would grow up, start their lives and eventually find the other, fall in love and then watch the other die. Often, Katar would die first, sacrificing himself for Shayera. The other times they would die together. However, no matter the lifetime the pair were forced to endure one tragic end after another. At least that was the case until the pair met the Justice Society of America. As part of a team, they always had someone watching their backs. Carter and Shayera were finally able to live out happy, full lives, dying peacefully alongside one enough. Carter's last breaths were those of relief, finally believing the curse to be broken. Until it wasn't. Reincarnated once again, Carter began another life. Walking the same familial paths, he re-established old friendships, re-attained old certifications and once again wandered in search of Shayera. But no matter where the Hawkman search, there was no sign of the Hawkwoman on Earth. So Carter began to look to the stars. *Refer to Team Notes for more information on each Guardian. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ I've had designs for both the Guardians and Hawkman for quite some time in previous games. They've never particularly worked out, but I think reapproaching them with familiar story beats will allow me to reach some new heights. The initial concept is adapted from an idea of doing Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy (Asgardians of the Galaxy?), with Thor swapped out for Hawkman. Taking another story beat from a previous idea is swapping Gamora for Starfire who I think has the potential to be a rather interesting character. I love science fiction and the idea of romping about in space but with enough ties to Earth to justify getting involved there is very appealing.
